unMENU 1.5 ... now available for download.

[cmhardwick]

I'm getting a 403 - forbidden error from the wget command to the unmenu repository. Is there a workaround for this?

I'm getting a 403 - forbidden error from the wget command to the unmenu repository. Is there a workaround for this?

worked for me just now.  (I cut and pasted the text from the prior post)

 

You do need to have basic networking installed and configured.

 

What happens when you type

net lookup google.com

or

ping -c 5 google.com

 

[cmhardwick]

no problem with those commands. i can resolve and connect with the site, it just can't retrieve the file

 

See below result, from copy/paste the command above

Is it possible to add the cache drive to the file browser?

[Joe L.]

Is it possible to add the cache drive to the file browser?

yes.

 

create a file unmenu_local.conf

in it put a series of lines for the folders you wish to access

ALLOWED_FOLDER = /mnt/user/

ALLOWED_FOLDER = /mnt/disk1/

ALLOWED_FOLDER = /mnt/disk2/

ALLOWED_FOLDER = /mnt/disk11/

ALLOWED_FOLDER = /mnt/cache/

 

If the file already exists, add those lines to it.

Use an editor that DOES NOT put carriage return/line-feed pairs on the ends of lines.  (don't use windows notepad)

what is the purpose of unmenu image server package? cant find info anywhere.

 

thanks.

[Joe L.]

what is the purpose of unmenu image server package? cant find info anywhere.

 

thanks.

Easy.  If you were to assign a "root" password on unRAID,  and not sign into it first before using unMENU's MyMain page that uses the graphics, you would be prompted for the password for every graphic image on the page.

 

This is because by default, if you do not install the "image server" unRAID itself is used to serve the images through "emhttp", its main management web-server.

 

To eliminate the annoying multiple password requests, the solution of a separate "image server" was created.  It is then used to serve the graphical images to the MyMain plugin in unMENU.

Maybe thats why my unmenu doesnt have any graphics. my browser doesnt request any password either.

You must be running an older version of unRAID.  (I'm guessing) Or, an older version of unMENU?  (The graphics are in the MyMain plugin.)

[publicENEMY]

my bad. the graphics are in mymain.

 

thanks for extremely useful stuff.

FYI ssmtp is not installing. The package is unavailable through the debian repository. This is the error.

I tried manually going out to the site and it looks like 2.62 has been taken out of that directory. It looks like 2.64 is now there. I appreciate the hard work on this script!!

Well, edit the .conf file, replace the references to 2.62 with that of 2.64, put the correct URL in place for the new version, and change the md5 checksum in the .conf file to match the new downloaded file.

 

Then you can send me back, or post the updated .conf file.  (I'm afraid my workload right now does not give me the time to do it)

i cant seem to be able to search for this particular issue as it confuses te search bar i think and i admit i dunno the work around to search for these items

 

in the past only way to fix it was to reboot the server.

[gregfink]

This .conf file will work to download smtp from a different server.

 

Copy it to your flash drive /unmenu/packages and overwrite to current one.

 

I'm modifying it again now and will re - upload soon.

 

The easiest way to do this is to edit your .conf file and change the package url line to this:

PACKAGE_URL https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/ssmtp_2.62.orig.tar.gz

 

You also need to delete anything that has ssmtp_2.62** from /boot/unmenu/package

 

Then re-run the installer.

 

I've done it on 2 systems and it works fine.

Okay, when I use the provided links to download supposedly version 1.5 from http://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/downloads/list, there is only version 1.3.7.1.

 

So where is version 1.5?

So where is version 1.5? 

Did you use it? I'm thinking you did not.

 

What you are seeing is version 1.3.7.1 of the unmenu_install program.  It is the utility I wrote to install and update unMENU.

Once you download and run unmenu_install, you'll see it will download and install version 1.5 of unMENU.  (You can verify by using the "About" link in unMENU.)

[Auggie]

Obviouisly, no 

 

I'm currently at v1.3 revision 178 according to my unMENU About page.  The date of upload shown on the code.google.com page showed December 2010.  Further, after downloading it, the file date also showed December 4, 2010 so that's when I came here to find out what the situation is.

Then you need to go to the User-Scripts page in unMENU, click on the "Check for Updates" button, then, when it tells you there are updates available, click on the Install Updates button.

 

You'll then need to click on the "Restart-unMENU" button to get it to load the new version.

 

Or... if you want to use the command line,

log in and type:

cd /boot/unmenu

unmenu_install -u -d /boot/unmenu

 

It is all described here:

http://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/

 

you can then kill the existing unMENU and re-start it. (also described on the above page)

Looks like you used a -u instead of -i......

 

from the first post for a new install.

Then, log in as "root" and type:

cd /boot/unmenu

unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu

 

Run as before with

cd /boot/unmenu

./uu

[rick.p]

look again, got the same error on both -i and -u

 

"while doing the initial install, get this..."

 

and

 

"unmenu_install -u -d /boot/unmenu"

 

and I've set this up on 3 boxes already... so this SHOULDN'T be an issue
